Early assessment usually means a shorter course of treatment. If you are unsure which service you need, call the clinic and we will point you to the right practitioner.
At Eastgate Physiotherapy we handle the paperwork so you can focus on recovery. Our front desk confirms your coverage before treatment starts, submits claims and reports on your behalf, and keeps you informed of any balance.
Bring your card or claim number and we verify what your plan or program covers before treatment begins.
We fill in the required forms and reports so nothing holds up your claim.
Your first visit includes a full assessment and, in most cases, treatment the same day.
The insurer or program is billed directly; you pay only any remaining balance.
We send progress reports when your insurer or case manager requires them.
If you have more than one plan, we submit to both in the correct order.
Itemised receipts are provided for tax purposes or your own submission.

Satish Pandya is a Registered Physiotherapist and the clinical lead at Eastgate. His approach starts with a thorough assessment and a plain-language explanation of what is driving your symptoms, followed by a plan built around your goals.
